Lending your expertise to The Writer's Box...


DEVELOPING DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW (POV) IN YOUR WRITING


As taught by Mari Sloan (and Thursday's Guest, Mark P. Henderson)--POV (or Point of View) is one of the more difficult writing skills to master, but there is an art to it--allowing all of your characters his (or HER or ITS) moment in the sun.


Mari Sloan - Author of "Beaufort Falls" Born into a Georgia family of eccentrics and visionaries, Mari Sloan carries her heritage of storytelling from the Deep South to the hills of Southern California. Educated in counseling, and formerly a family services caseworker with volunteer experience in disaster relief with the American Red Cross, she is no stranger to the perverse working of the human mind. Her latest novel, BEAUFORT FALLS, is a picture of humanity at its best, and worst, and sometimes its funniest. A Chat Host monthly for Chapter One, and published in Cold Coffee magazine, she leaves no character without a voice.

SEE Schedule of Topics within GROUP 'Teach-Learn'
